Sony XO-D20S all-in-one "Midi" HiFi system and separate Sony CDP-M29 CD player

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sony XO-D20 / XO-D20S "Midi" system (all-in-one HiFi) system plus separate Sony CDP-M29 CD player from the late 1980s.

As with most 1980s "midi" systems, the all-in-one main unit (combining a record player, FM/MW/LW tuner, dual cassette deck and amplifier) is obviously designed to mimic the look of a system made up of separate components... but it's not(!)

Despite that, the CD player shown here actually is separate (albeit sold as part of the same bundle). However, by this time many other "midi" systems were already integrating a CD player into the main unit itself.

Once manufacturers started leaving out the bulky record player altogether in favour of the CD, "Midi"-sized hifis like this were mostly superseded by smaller "micro" systems in the early 90s. (And no, "midi" has nothing to do with the MIDI standard for musical instruments- don't ask me where the name came from!)

Remote control and speakers not shown. Purchased circa late 1988/early 1989.
